I don't think this is exactly true... I quote from the KIP installation doc:

"KIP had been using the range starting at 768.

"The start range can now be specified in the ddprangestart
configuration field.  It is recommended that you use the new start
range value of 200 if you can.  A value of zero implies the old range
starting at 768.  CAP 5.0 allows the use of the new port range by
installing the names in /etc/services for use by getservent.  If you
do one of these, then you must do the other."

This makes it sound to me as if you only need to set the variable
ddprangestart if you install the names in /etc/services.  Also I'm
running KIP0688 and CAP 5.0 on two machines (RT running 4.3 and Sun
4), and I haven't set the ddprangestart variable to 200, and
everything's running fine (I also haven't put the names in
/etc/services).

I noticed the following abnormalities:

Every time I get a "Sorry, the gateway appears to be busy" message, I
do a RESET and try again.  The only times I've had consistent "gateway
busy" messages are when there's been a hardware problem with the kbox.
Unfortunatley, the "KFPS lives" message doesn't really tell you
anything, since it will give you that message even if it didn't boot
correctly.  One thing to check is the atalkad log file
(/usr/adm/atalkalog) to see if atalkad processed the boot request from
the kbox.  If your box is up you can also su and say "/etc/atalkad
boot" and do a tail -f on /usr/adm/atalkalog.  If you get a "no
response" message, your box isn't booted properly.

Also, in your config file:

>* IP default route: 126.10.0.41
>7E0A0029

My understanding is that this IP address should be the IP address of
the nearest IP gateway to the other subnets on your ethernet.

Good luck.
